Can someone describe the science behind a
"rise in EGT" when we lose a single coil. I would have expected
a drop in EGT due to less thorough burning of the mixture and
therefore excess un-burnt fuel which I thought would provide cooler
temps of the exhaust stream as it passes the EGT probe.
Must be missing something very basic
here...
Thanks for any clarity! :)
